Good decision in the end. Red card rescinded.

Well done Moss

[Scully]

No way is that red

[skintsaint]

how the fuck the keeper saved that

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck, great save on Adams’ hard volley.

[obelisk]

Save!

[striker]

ugh, nice shot by Che

[qwertyell]

How? Absolute horseshit. If this isn't overturned...

Total muppet "expert" referee saying it was a good decision, backing up his mate even though he was blatantly wrong.

Thanks UEFA - making them look at the monitor has prevented another bout of total incompetence.

yeah it was just a high challenge that caught his boot, yellow card at worst 

[trousers]

Much better this half. Hope Djnepo gets 30 minutes 

[skintsaint]

Playing better. Moving the ball much quicker.

[OttawaSaint]

Jesus, stop passing to Redmond. That was an awful shot. Ingsy shoulda gone with his parented cut inside and roll into the far corner.

[verlaine1979]

Redmond has been absolute turd so far.

[skintsaint]

Smallbone looking a contender to be next hauled off.

[Sheaf Saint]

Better so far this half, but still need to buck our ideas up a bit if we're going to get anything out of this game.

he doesn't look ready quite yet for 1st team imo

[sydney_saint]

Redmond isn't the biggest reason why we are losing. But I want to see much more from him this season. Hes 26 with a couple of hundred EPL appearances. Yet still is playing like an inconsistent raw kid straight out of the academy. Needs more direct output. And take more ownership receiving the ball, not losing it cheaply and making the right decisions.

[OttawaSaint]

Hopefully we are super fit and it’ll benefit us later on. I think the Smallbone experiment hasn’t worked. Djenepo on soon please!

The guy has no stand out attributes. Can anyone tell me what kind of midfielder he is? Is he creative? An enforcer? Can he dribble round people?

He looks neat and tidy to me. Could work in a midfield 3 with the right players around him. But not what we need in a 4-2-2-2. Djenepo would be far more useful

Same was said about JWP. I know it doesn’t really mean anything, but there’s still plenty of time for the lad.

[John Boy Saint]

Glad I hadn’t binned my 9 nil bingo card!

Redmond has been bloody crap

[Mr X]

we continue our rubbish starts to the season 

[OttawaSaint]

What, surely a pen.

 

edit: no, went down too easy.

Edited 12 September, 2020 by OttawaSaint

[Saint_clark]

Adams is a cunt for diving and not shooting. Get him off and in the reserves for a month.

 

[skintsaint]

thats a pen...maybe not

Edited 12 September, 2020 by skintsaint

[trousers]

Stumbled. No pen

[obelisk]

Redmond 4 marks out of 10 so far and that's me feeling generous.

[skintsaint]

We have slowed again 😕

[trousers]

Djenepo o'clock... Surely?

And gone to sleep too

[LGTL]

Really not sure regards the clamour for Smallbone. Completely anonymous.

and shlong

[Saint_clark]

How have we not made an attacking change yet...Ralph can sometimes be far too stubborn about substitutions. Maybe that's why he is so famous for liking smaller squads as he sticks with the first team as much as possible anyway.

[Sheaf Saint]

20 minutes left. How long is Ralph going to leave it before making a change?

I would make a double change in attack right now - Long and Djenepo for Redmond and Smallbone.

[Saint_clark]

JWP top left corner coming up.

[trousers]

This game is highlighting how much we miss Armstrong 

[OttawaSaint]

JWP territory...

[skintsaint]

Redmond needs to watch how Palaces wide men play...direct with decent crosses..would prefer that to what he does.

[OttawaSaint]

Come on Ralph. Shake it up a bit!

Would help if he was played on the right wing, almost every time he plays out there he looks so much better. On the left 9/10 times he'll be cutting inside and passing backwards.

[Mr X]

wrong angle for JWP

[Sheaf Saint]

That's a waste from JWP. So unlikely to score from there. A cross would have been a much better option.

[obelisk]

Too slow again.

[trousers]

Can't see us equalising here. Hey ho... Textbook first game of the season for us

Andros seems to be able to swing in decent crosses on his weak foot...can't see why Redmond can.t

Because they're different players.

[OttawaSaint]

How’s that not a foul on Redmond?

6 of one and half a dozen of the other?
